Louis,
I am trying Hauser Medium Green. On the bottle it looks like Hauser Light green as shown on the chart. Guess I'll see what it looks like when dried.

Hauser medium green is too mossy. I believe festive green is correct though in the light of the picture it is darker

Golden artists acrylics #1143-2 Cobalt Titanate Green, with a dash of #1060-2 Chromium Oxide Green or some permanet green medium to cut the poisonous green tinge should do the trick. The titanate would make the model stand out really well, and be powerful even after heavy weathering.

We don't have festive green ....
I have "mistletoe", "holly green" and "hauser medium green" .. none of them look like their colors shown on the chart. Go figure ..

But, if you don't have it, try mixing a lighter color with the green you have and see what you come up with. I'm not sure what colors to mix, it's trial and error.

I am using 1:1 mistletoe and holly green. It will be close, once weathered a bit it will look just fine for my RR. [^]

Gentlemen, remember the color wheel. Complimentary colors ,opposites on the color wheel, when mixed bring the colors toward neutrals(grays). So to tone down a color, simply add the compliment in small(often tiny) amounts.
In the case of festive green, a smidge of red should bring it closely in line to the intended value.
